Is there an escape character in bmx? I've seen something, sometimes about ~ but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know? I'd like to use it work drawText:

drawText "This is an ~n example",20,20

DrawText doesn't support multi-line strings, you would need to write a function that handles this yourself.

Ok, thanks dude.

Is this perchance related to the OpenConsole thingy at all?

no, it's just I was wondering if I could make doing my fading intro text a bit easier by using a simple escape char. It's ok, it was easy enough anyway. Nearly finished my game now.
